PAXTON

Saw Tom Paxton in Worcester last night -- this is an amazing man: certainly one of my musical heroes. I've known his songs for almost 50 years now and they still move me (I realised that I like singers and songwriters who deliver in 3 areas:
1: Songs of social comment, politics, etc.
2: Silly songs.
3: Love songs.)

So this is why I like Eric Bogle and Stan Rogers, I guess (and, at least, only one of them is dead).


BUT, isn't it strange how happy memories and sadness are so closely allied?
